It's Mii mining, now with MovableQ! The title is self explanatory.

This method requires a reasonably powerful GPU (any dedicated graphics card made in the last few years) and the ability to use a command line. If you don't know what those are or do not have the hardware necessary, join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp), open the "#mii-mining-assistance" channel and provide the following:
+ Your Mii QR code, uploaded directly to Discord (do not take a screenshot or a photo of the image, just send the HNI_XXXX.JPG image itself)
+ Your console's ID0 (the name of the 32-character folder directly inside of Nintendo 3DS - see [this troubleshooting section](https://3ds.hacks.guide/troubleshooting#seedminer) if you have multiple)
+ Your console model (e.g. 3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS, New3DS, New3DS XL, New2DS XL)
+ Your console's year of manufacturing; if you don't know, don't say it - it's not super important

To install boot9strap on your console, we derive your console's unique encryption key. To accomplish this, we use a tool called Seedminer to calculate the data encryption key (movable.sed) for your console.

Because we do not have access to the Friends List, we are deriving the first part of `movable.sed` using a Mii QR code instead of by performing a two-way friend exchange.

For information on how Seedminer works, see [this presentation](https://zoogie.github.io/web/34⅕c3).

## Instructions
### Section I - Prep Work

In this section, you will obtain your console's files that are needed for mining.

1. Tap the "QR Code/Image Options" button
1. Tap "Save Mii as QR Code"
1. Select a Mii Character **that was created on this console, NOT imported from another console** (make a new one first if you don't have any), and press "OK"
1. Power off your console
1. Insert your SD card into your computer
1. Navigate to the `Nintendo 3DS` folder on your SD card
1. Copy the name of the 32-letter folder you see directly inside Nintendo 3DS
    + This 32-letter name is system-specific and will be different for each console
    + If you see multiple 32-letter folders, follow [these instructions](troubleshooting#seedminer)
    + You can ignore the `private` folder if you have it

    ![]({{ "/images/screenshots/seedminer/id0-example.png" | absolute_url }})
    {: .notice--info}
1. Paste your 32-letter folder name into [a document](/images/screenshots/seedminer/text-document.png) you can reference later
    + This folder is known as your "ID0". Take note of this as this guide will refer to it as such later
1. Navigate to the `DCIM` folder on the SD card
1. Look for the QR Code, which will be a `.JPG` file starting with `HNI`
    + You may have many other files in here already if you use the Nintendo 3DS Camera app

### Section II - Mining

In this section, you will use the MovableQ website to retrieve your console's encryption key in the form of `movable.sed`.

1. Open [MovableQ](https://cm360.xyz/movableq/method/mii) on your computer
    + If the site isn't working, join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) and ask (in English) for someone there to assist you
1. Paste your console's 32 character long folder name into the "ID0" field
1. Under model select "New" or "Old" depending on your consoles model
    + New 3DS consoles are indicated by the four shoulder buttons on the back and the C-Stick on the right. Old 3DS consoles have two shoulder buttons and no C-Stick on the right.
1. Under "Manufacturing year" put your 3DS's year of manufacturing.
    + If you don't know, leave it blank.
1. Under "Mii QR code" upload your Mii QR `.jpg` file
1. Select "Submit"
1. The site will continue to "Step 3: Obtain LFCS"
    + This may take a while (around 90 minutes) so feel free to step away while your LFCS is being mined
1. *Currently being written. If you are doing Mii Mining, please take a video of the process and send it to Tophatted_ on Discord. I would rather not waste the GPU of the volenteer miners with my already modded console.*
